Stew Mac has their hand in everything - banjos, mandolins, all kinds of luthiery and finishing supplies, an enormous list of increasingly imported stuff.

I think they make some things themselves still (Waverly tuners), but as far as necks are concerned I believe they buy from overseas. Mighty Mite, perhaps. They used to have a better, Canadian source but that was a while back.

I've bought necks off the USACG webspecials page for under $ 135 at least twice. But against the quality of USACG, I dunno if I would buy a Stew Mac neck for $ 65. Honest.
